Tour 04 - St Just Tour

The St Just smörgåsbord

Adult prices from 52€ per person (based on a group of nine adult guests booking as a single party)

If you are looking for something "a bit special" this walk presents you with a veritable smörgåsbord of relics and monuments spanning two millennia of human activity in Brittany.  Better still, most of this tour is accessible to wheelchair users and users of other mobility aids.

This trail takes us across dry heathland close to the village of St Just, approximately 45 minutes by car to the southwest of Rennes in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany. If you're staying in the Morbihan area, this site lies just over an hour east of Vannes by road.



Over roughly three hours we will explore a stunning array of prehistoric monuments that are often overlooked by visitors to Britttany. Dating from the Neolithic and Bronze Age you will see stone rows, the remains of what may have been a complete stone circle, and some beautifully preserved tombs. The walk itself takes us through heathland that changes with the seasons, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local fauna and flora, (keep an eye out for lizards and praying mantis).

The visit normally finishes with a short drive and a walk to the Treal Dolmen, one of my favourite sites in all of Brittany. Sadly, this is one part of the tour that will not be accessible to wheelchair users. After the visit there is the option for you to visit the small museum in the village of St Just, (if it's open!). The museum is free for children under the age of 12 and has a charge of 5€ for adults

Please note that this particular monument is not accessible to wheelchair users.


This is a perfect tour for visitors who may not be venturing further west in Brittany, but who are still eager to explore its fascinating prehistoric heritage.
 
Although this is not a particularly challenging trail please be aware that there is very little cover from the elements so be sure to dress appropriately. If it's hot you will need a hat, sun-screen and some water with you and if it's wet, you WILL get wet!

A Review of the Locminé Loop tour

Image
Five stars are not enough! Ten stars at least.  We were staying at La Charbonniére near  Mohon [see details on these pages] and my hubby is into history and was shown the leaflet … me , well I can tag along. The price surprised me. I was in two minds if I should go or not, but I went and boy did I get a surprise!  You see the first location within minutes of starting. Philip, (even though he is a Bsc, MA, etc) is not stuffy, he brings it all alive. He doesn’t lecture you, he poses questions for you to think about. He doesn’t correct you like a schoolteacher, he patiently brings you around to seeing the past. He has a sense of humour… well he would have to have to keep me engaged for the whole afternoon!  Although I am an old lady I didn’t have any problems getting to and from the sites. Sensible shoes and clothes are all you need.  Philip didn’t just know about Neolithic times , he engaged in various other periods (I like medieval) . You can ask questions about anythin

A review of the Ménéac Markers tour

Image
  FIVE STARS! “We had an interesting and thought provoking experience with Philip learning about the giant stones in Ménéac. It was fascinating to hear Philip's stories about the markers, particularly the history of his investigations and discoveries as he researched them. In addition to telling us about these particular Neolithic artifacts, Philip utilises his archeological training to paint a detailed picture of Neolithic times and how the communities lived and celebrated. It was fascinating to walk through ordinary countryside back roads and paths to discover each of the stones and imagine the landscape in those times and the journeys taken by people then. A very different experience from the typical tourist activities in Brittany and a welcome exploration into an ancient time.” Caite, Sydney, Australia
